Barriers to equality: Challenges in tracking black and minority ethnic people through the criminal justice system
People working in the criminal justice system or with an interest in ensuring it operates fairly need the best possible information about black and minority ethnic (BME) people going through the system. This report looks at the available information and considers the findings of a pilot project undertaken by Nacro to track case files through the system. The project aimed to shed light on the cumulative effect of potentially discriminatory decisions made throughout the criminal justice process.
This report provides a summary of the key information about people from black and minority ethnic groups going through the criminal justice system; new data from a study of nearly 3,000 case files; and an analysis of how the system's operation currently makes it harder to identify and reduce discrimination - damaging both the system and its credibility.
